Jul 6 2007Lust, Caution Trailer Hides Language
The trailer to Lust, Caution, Ang Lee's newest, looks dramatic, sexy, exciting, and suspiciously free of dialog. It's almost as if they don't want us to realize it's in Mandarin! Nice try, Ang, but I don't go to the movies to read. That's what books and take-out menus are for, jackass.

Thats a typical redneck American statement.
There ARE movies made in countries other than the United States. The filmmaker is not required to provide a dubbed audio track robbing the moviegoer of the original performances to compensate for your laziness.

"...Nice try, Ang, but I don't go to the movies to read..."
Oh, that typical from United States ´s people (yes your country IT`s NOT America).
that why you can´t learn from other cultures... you just bomb them....
I prefer to watch movies in their original language, because it´s better, and let me learn or improve (in this case) my English, to write to jackass´s like you are.

Yeah, I couldn't agree with you guys more. It's really the fact that ignorance is flashed like a witty badge of honor that's so sad here. Perhaps it was written with irony, but if so, it wasn't done well because it never got across to me.

Uh, have you guys heard of an animated series entitled "The Simpsons"? Rather than a blatant example of everything you think is wrong in 'redneck' America... I think this line was a ref. to an episode where Bart makes the same statement?
I hope these cultural references come through when you babelfish this page into Mandarin...

you guys like reading subtitles so much, it's pretty amazing you've somehow missed a gigantic-as-fuck literary device we like to call SARCASM. jesus. you're trying to come off as smarter for not living in the US, "for prefer[ing] to watch movies in their original language", but really, you're just coming off as dumb shits for getting all pissy over an obvious joke...
